Technology clearly makes an income disparity. By using technology we can complete a work efficiently and accurately. If we use technology we can complete a job in a short time rather than manually. Then we can use this spare time for another job and get more money by doing this. So it makes a disparity.
Actually every people are not conscious well about the technology, so a difference is creating between the technology conscious and unconscious people. People themselves have to aware of it.
Our government is also showing some ignorance on that occasion. To remove this inequality of income first we have to focus on our educational system in urban area as well as village equally, have to make the system correct from its root.

I think.
There is no relation between inequality of income and technology, technology is ubiquitous every people one or another way using technology, in India most of the people either poor or rich has cell phones, and they are enjoying using technology, using technology we can generate employment for poor people also, technology does not prevent poor people to become rich, People either poor or rich using technology.
Some times that happen that technology decrease the requirement of manpower but at the same time also generates new employment but that new technical employment.

In My Point Of View Technology Is a very useful source now a days. In Present Situations The whole world Depends On The Technology. We Can Not Imagine Our World With Out Technology. It is very Useful To Develop The Country. By Using This Technology We Are Inventing The Bank Applications, Internet, Weapons, vehicles, Transport etc. By Using This Technology We Can Transfer the Money across the world. Internet is also one of the new Technology. It is very useful in real time life. This are the main advantages by using technology.
Like A coin, Every Thing Has 2 sides.
If There is advantage defiantly there is also an disadvantages.
Disadvantages Of Technology is.
1) By using the internet hack the valuable information.
2) Weapons, Nuclear reactors Are Also Invented By using this technology.

I tend to disagree on the point that the technology is creating income disparity, can we remember those days when black and white television used to entertain only two or three family of whole town, but now usually have at least one colored television set in each house.
The days when we were waiting to cut down the STD call rates in late night or early morning and used to have conversation with family and relatives, but now even rickshaw puller can afford cell phone to stay connected with family and friends.
There are lot of examples by which we can explain that how the technology reduces the inequality between the peoples having high income and low income.
Aside this if we talk about the earning with the use of technology then I can certainly say that you can earn more money, and have good salary and perks.
While technology is enabling to earn more money and creating job opportunity for technical person at the same time it is availing the facilities to common people by which everyone can enjoy the technology, and providing feel good factor even not having good income.

I think technology has actually created income disparities. The best example is computer which is also one of the reasons for the disparity. Proficient in computer means you need to b acquianted with each and every language. The persons adroit in these languages are always preferred in any IT company and hence provided with high income than those who have just a basic computer knowledge and got a job in small sectors.
One more example that I would like to set is the private institute be it a coaching institute or retailing sectors. In coaching classes, the technology has enabled the students present in some state, to view their teacher and his lectures delivered in some other state. For which the institute has to charge more from their students to compensate for their extra expenses. That has also created more income disparities between the these lavish institutes and conventional institutes.
Another instance is the various kinds of equipments that hospitals are using and therefore it actually adds to their income because they have to charge more for any operations or any examination treatment like x- rays etc. Although the technology has always proved beneficial to everybody. But on the same floor, it has created income disparity.

Hi guys! yes, in my opinion technology creates inequality in income of a person or a company. As we know that technology gives easy way, takes much less time to do any work and we know "time is money", so if you save your time you save your money and in daily practice or in companies also if you do some work before time limit which you given, then you will get bonus it mean income disparity, so any person which technically skilled definitely he will have more income than unskilled person, but it requires use of technology in proper way.

Technology is the talk of the day. I quote a brilliant line. "today we don't call a person illiterate if he does not know how to read or write we call a person illiterate as to a person who ceases to learn". So I say that if any one is not aware of the recent technological developments then he is next to illitrate. According to me one must embrace the technological advancements. And as one said it is difficult to get in the rural places the touches of tecnological advancements I tell him its better late than never.

Hi Friends, According to me Technology is not creating Income Disparity. Because with help of technology we can do our all work sitting on a sit no need to go anywhere. With help of Laptop or computer and webcam we can talk to our family just like we are sitting in front of them. With help of mobile we can talk our knowns very easily. Before the technology we use telegrams and letters to talk to our relatives but with help of phone we can talk them any time anywhere. But we can't ignore the disadvantage of technology. Peoples become lazy day by day. They sit on a laptop or computer whole day. Physical work are reducing day by day. Lots of health problems are increasing day by day. Technology is good if we use it in a proper way.

In my opinion, Yes technology creates economic inequalities between the various strata in our society. Not only does it create economic inequalities but also social ones. A very good example to support my saying is that People who have been employed in very good jobs and those who are getting high perks are given more respect and are looked upon with high esteem in our society. But technology, even thought it has these disadvantages, has a lot more turned out to be a boon to our mankind. As one of our friends has rightly quoted that "Time is Money. ", ya technology saves a lot of time in our everyday life. Technology, as the definition goes, is the making use of the knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, systems or methods of organization to solve a problem effectively and efficiently. Thus the use of technology helps us to acheive greater efficiency in terms of speed, productivity and income.
